Oakland, California – March 26, 2026 – HydraPak and Maurten announce the launch of HydraPak SkyFlask — made for hydrogel, a purpose-built handheld designed to integrate hydration and fueling in one streamlined system. Developed by the global leader in performance hydration solutions, together with the brand redefining the limits of carbohydrate fueling, the SkyFlask allows trail and road runners to carry both Drink Mix and Gel 100 or Gel 160 together, in one handheld tool, when training and racing. Designed by HydraPak, exclusively for Maurten.
“This product marks a new chapter for HydraPak,” said Matt Lyon, President and CEO at HydraPak. “We brought our product and marketing teams together with Maurten from day one, aligning innovation with athlete insight to create a solution from the ground up. It’s not co-branding , it’s co-creation, built to perform seamlessly in the moments that matter most.”
SkyFlask for hydrogel is designed for runners to train and race on trails and roads. Every detail is intentional; adjustable hand strap and thumb loop for grip- free carrying, SpeedFill™ cap for fast refills, and a wide-opening pocket to easily carry and access a gel. This is not a merch collaboration. Not a bottle with a logo. It is a specific tool for minimalist runners to travel fast and light.
“We see this product, and the partnership with HydraPak, as another layer in the same system,” said Olof Sköld, CEO at Maurten. “SkyFlask carries the hydrogel products. Hydrogel Technology carries the carbohydrates needed to fuel performance. Each layer removes a limitation between the athlete and their fuel.”
